Boundaries with In-Laws
It’s OK to have relationships with your parents, but not as your primary source of life. The relationships we have with our families is important, but when you leave and cleave, you’re making decisions outside of those relationships. Their job as a parent is over because a married unit is now a new family. In-law problems occur when the design hasn’t happened. So, the best way is to do it before you get married, or after, and talk about where the family of origin ends and where the new family begins. It’s ok to gather wisdom from your family, but you are in a new position to make your own decisions. In this course, Dr. Henry Cloud will outline what you need to do to set boundaries with your in-laws while preserving your marriage.
Forgiveness
When someone has been hurt, and they do one of two things. Either they confront the other person about something that has happened, the other person says he’s sorry, and they forgive, open themselves up again, and blindly trust. Or, in fear of opening themselves up again, they avoid the conversation altogether and hold onto the hurt, fearing that forgiveness will make them vulnerable once again. In this course, we’re going to talk about what forgiveness does for you, what forgiveness is not and how we move forward with ourselves and future relationships.
Boundaries in Relationships
Relationships provide the essence of thriving, both for ourselves personally and professionally. But, not just any kind of relationship will do. The relationships that provide fulfillment to us have certain components to them.
Listening
Listening is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. A person can’t influence, be present or even really bond with someone if they don’t feel heard or understood. Feeling understood is the basis for effective communication between two people because. The human heart, more than anything wants to be known.

Getting Unstuck
Change is hard. Often, change carries a fair amount of risk, and risk is something many of us avoid like the plague. However, it's important to consider when taking a risk might be worth it. Likewise, ponder whether what you need to gain a fresh perspective on your life, goals or relationships is just the right kind of change. Part of recognizing this opportunity to improve your circumstances is just seeing the needs you have. You have to regularly undertake a self-evaluation and question whether your needs are being met, and whether you're going the direction you want to be going. If you're not, it may be time for a change.
Resilience
In this course, Dr. Henry Cloud defines what it means to be resilient when you’re faced with pain and hardship in your life. Why is it that some people can thrive after going through a difficult time, yet others continue to go through life feeling defeated? Dr. Cloud will discuss what it takes for someone to change their mindset to see that the light at the end of the tunnel is a way out, not a train headed their way.
